PokerStars has unveiled a new Homes Games section on the site which is set to revolutionize how poker players play games with friends.

The innovative software allows users to create and customize a club. The manager of the club chooses a respective name before deciding on appropriate table designs, stakes, lobby and the options of tournaments or private tables.

They can then invite friends to play by emailing them an invitation code. Game variants such as Omaha, Hold’em, Mixed Game and HORSE are supported in the new Home Games section.

Tournament buy-ins currently range from a minimum of $0.40 to a maximum of $500. Micro cash games, ranging from $0.01/$0.02 to $1/$2 are also supported.

Team PokerStars sponsored pro Daniel Negreanu spoke of his excitement at the announcement in an introduction video posted on the world’s biggest online poker site.

“Nothing like PokerStars Home Games has been offered before and it is so easy to use.”

“You have so many options when you open your Poker Club and you can customize it anyway you want, just like you would in a home game with friends.”

PokerStars players are limited to creating only one club. Each club has a limit of 50 players.

Poker players currently participating at the PokerStars Caribbean Adventure are also celebrating the new addition. There is a $10,000 prize on offer for players who submit a video explaining why their home game is the finest.
